Four share the lead at NSW Open

By Adrian Warren

Queenslander Bree Arthur overcame tougher afternoon conditions to force her way into a share of the first round lead, as young and established stars shone at the NSW women's golf Open on Friday.

Arthur fired a six under 66 at the Oatlands course in Western Sydney, equalling the score of newly crowned Australian amateur champion Minjee Lee, fellow Australian European tour professional Stacey Keating and Sweden's Caroline Hedwall, the 2011 NSW Open champion.
